Oscar Season Kicks Off With Trump Impressions and a Bond Tease
The official awards campaign trail starts at the Governors Awards, and Barry Keoghan was definitely there.

Throughout the night, Keoghan is a hyperactive presence, at one point asking an event worker to take a photo of him and Paul Mescal on his phone while Saoirse Ronan waits close by.
